Typical Model Specification for Logistic Regression

classifier = Sequential([
    Dense(16, input_dim=n_features, activation='relu'),
    Dense(32, activation='relu'),
    Dense(32, activation='relu'),
    Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])
classifier.compile(optimizer='rmsprop', loss='binary_crossentropy')

loss = classifier.evaluate(x_test, y_test)

Alternative Specification

An alternative specification isolates the positive and negative samples and explicitly requires an input for each class. The loss that is optimized is then the sum of the binary cross-entropy losses for each class. Since we fix the corresponding target labels to be all ones or zeros accordingly, the binary cross-entropy losses for each class both result in one of the complementary terms, and averaging them would result in the usual binary cross-entropy loss on all samples with their corresponding labels.

This trick is crucial for many model specifications in keras-adversarial.

pos = Input(shape=(n_features,))
neg = Input(shape=(n_features,))

# make use of the classifier defined earlier
y_pred_pos = classifier(pos)
y_pred_neg = classifier(neg)

# define a multi-input, multi-output model
classifier_alt = Model([pos, neg], [y_pred_pos, y_pred_neg])
classifier_alt.compile(optimizer='rmsprop', loss='binary_crossentropy')

losses = classifier_alt.evaluate(
    [
        x_test[y_test == 1], 
        x_test[y_test == 0]
    ], 
    [
        np.ones(n_samples // 2), 
        np.zeros(n_samples // 2)
    ]
)

The loss that actually gets optimized is the first value above, the sum of the subsequent values. The mean of them is the required binary cross-entropy loss.
